I couldn't find the recommended LPS product but I picked up something
called
PB Blaster, which is supposed to be a penetrating catalyst and recommended
by Auto Zone. I found out later that its not really a lubricant but they
have another spray called PB-50 that is a lubricant which I should have
bought. PB Blaster is an orange consociation and seems to dry up with no
perceivable lubricant coating the cup. I will not use that on my Miata.
Its
really a WD-40 competitor, I am told.

So I went down to this huge Harley Davidson store and its really huge. I
grabbed something called Lube Plus. I looked at it in a cup and there is
real lubricant along the sides of the cup. It has the consistency of WD-40
in the cup but more lubricant. I think I will go with it unless I get a
thumbs down here.
